Leche, I don't have any Spanish or Latin blood in me, I just "discovered" this passion on my own (although sometimes I like to think that somewhere along the line there was a Spanish great great great great great grandfather/mother that no one knew about, ha, ha, ha).

Leche,
I am also deeply in the mesmerizing trance of Spain, yet having no Latin roots. It is reassuring to know that there are other affected souls.

It is quiet amusing to read about whether one is Latin, Cuban, Hispanic, Spanish. My daughter who is in Madrid often jokes that I will be visiting my motherland -- Spain since I originally came from a former colony of Spain in Asia. Am I Hispanic or Spanish? I will soon leave for Spain Dec. 28 and experience a new culture and country.

mclarke, You are so lucky that you are leaving to Spain! I wish I were leaving as well. How much longer is your daughter staying in Spain? I was wondering if you were perhaps from the Phillipines since you mention that you are from a former Asian colony of Spain and the Phillipines was under the control of Spain for awhile if I'm not correct. Hope you have a great time in Spain JanetP

JanetP You are correct. I am from the Philippines. My daughter will soon finished her semester and will return to the U.S. on Jan. 29, 2001. So I have the Euro-Asian looked. Are you in Spain?
